‘It started as a little fire and spread through other apartments,’ Betsie Torres, 36, who lives across the street, told the New York Post. ‘It was crazy. I’m a little worried because there’s children here.’

The unnamed victim’s burnt body was found in his bed on the second-floor.

His feet had been tied with electrical cord and his shoulders had been bound with speaker wire, sources said.
